Everyone knows how important it is for a house to have a strong foundation. If a foundation is weak or it has problems, the house will begin to tilt, sag, water might come in, and the house could even collapse if not corrected. A foundation supports and holds everything in place and the same thing happens in our bodies.

Our bodies need to have a strong foundation in order to have good health and this starts with our core, but most of us don’t realize that is far more than our abdominal muscles. Our core is a complex group of muscles that includes nearly every part of our body except for arms and legs. Now that’s new information to me! Your pelvic floor is the foundation that holds up and supports your core.

To help us learn more about this topic is my good friend and very own pelvic floor therapist, Poonam McAllister. Poonam attended school in Bombay, India for a Bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. She opened Central Illinois Institute of Balance (CIIB) in 2007 and added pelvic floor to her offerings in 2008.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

• Some of the symptoms that require pelvic floor therapy
• What pelvic floor therapy may look like
• How your pelvic floor impacts your relationships
• And much more!

This topic is a little different from our normal content but it’s one that has benefitted me personally and it can be beneficial for you too!
